As long as they stay the fuck away from notepad
Lol almost the same software since windows 1
Now with tabs
Simply no. They modernized it in Windows 11 and made it do the expensive mica stuff have fonts and tabs and some awful "restore session" feature
I cried a bit inside when I saw the ribbon
It's time for notepad--
notepad^-2^
N.B. Notepad3 (originally Flo's notepad2) is a great drop-in replacement for notepad.exe (and even has an install option to do exactly that, so everything opens with it even if other programs call it). I install it on every Win system I have to manage. Not as big as Notepad++, but has syntax highlighting, line numbers and supports LF file endings.
EDIT: Disappointingly no screenshots on either site >:| It looks similar to vanilla notepad.exe
Notepad has supported LF for at least 7-8 years
Yea even with notepad++ on my machine I found myself using notepad for tons of shit while notepadd++ is better for logs and making scripts
